A psychological thriller with excellent plot development and great settings. I felt it hard to empathize with the characters, however making it difficult for me to even care what happened.

I loved the setting of this one but didn’t like main characters. But it was a good book.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review this book

Crossroad is a complex mystery. It has many characters and plots. If you can keep up and not mind a unlikable character, it is a good book.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview Crossroad by WH Cameron.
A young woman, Melisende, struggling with issues, is taken in by her missing husband's family. They offer her a job as a mortician. She travels from Boston to Oregan, and she starts a new life. That is until one night, a terrible auto accident changes everything, and she is in the middle of a murder mystery.
There are alot of characters and plot lines going on, which made reading somewhat confusing. The plot is good, however, I found it difficult to relate to the main character, and others were unlikeable.
For me, this book was just ok.

2.5 stars rounded up to 3. After reading a synopsis of the book I thought it was a story which would appeal to me more than it did. There is much that I found positive. The plot was complex and gripping with some unforeseen twists. The abduction and chase near the end targeting the injured protagonist were frightening and raised the tension.

I did not care enough for the foul-mouthed mortician, Melisende, to be captivated by her fate. I found her to be frequently rude and impulsive. She didn't always make the right decisions which put her in further danger. We do get some backstory to explain her personality and behaviour, but these threads were often left hanging. I thought her t-shirts bearing crude one-liner jokes about the funeral business were appalling and would disturb mourners. Are these even a thing?

It took me a while to sort out the names of all the characters, both living and dead. Having read the book to its end, I thought the conclusion wrapped up the complicated plot with most mysteries resolved, but I thought there were a couple of loose ends I may have missed.

Thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane books for the ARC in return for an honest review.
